Post for Becky

This week we have the opportunity to dog sit. Some of you loyar readers already know Jack Jack, but for those of you who don't...He is a black Lab / Great Dane mix. He is a great dog, whom we have decided to keep. You are not getting him back Jensens!

DreamLand

I know that all of you who read my blog just sit around on pins and needles waiting for me to tell you what I ,dream about...well, today is your lucky day. David offered to let me take a nap today after church (I know, he is the best).

Anywhooo...I dreamt that I was at some sort of outdoor place, and decided to go on a hike with Arami, Maira, David, Sarah Weibling (I don't get it either Sarah) and Robert Pattison (AKA Edward Scissorhands, I mean Cullen). We were trotting along a nice path and I have this sudden intuition that if we continued on said path, we would get to see some large animal wildlife, so we continued.

Then, I saw this field, it had hay in it, and I suggested that we go turn on the lights (Yes, in the field) and pretend that we were at a photo shoot. Of course I was bummed that we forgot our camera...I know that never happens to Dave and I, but then the awesome and amazing Sarah, proclaimed that she had hers, so Maira and I started prancing around like a couple of 8 Year olds.

Next thing I know I am waking up in the field with the lights out ALONE. Can you believe they all abandoned me?

That was it...only in real life I woke up in my room, but it was dark.

Now you can all sleep better knowing what I dream about.

On another note, my original view of the Twilight movie has softened a bit. It really wasn't as...cheesy as I originally thought (I reserve the right to change my mind if I watcch it again, which would only happen if Dave wanted to see it after it comes out on DVD). I think I understand what the director was trying to do, which didn't translate to me in the moment.

First Steps

These were literally the third steps she took. Can you tell that we were excited.

Rockband Follow Up

Did I mention how fun this game is! It was very much a successful evening, which I intend to do again, hopefully sooner than later.

Halloween and A First Birthday

Amira was too fascinated with the wholecostume idea

to look up for the picture. She was a little tiger.

Reiley had spent the afternoon at a friends house before our church party, so we didn't get to take pictures with him. David was a redneck. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of hime with the mullet...it was classic. Arami is a flower, the prettiest!

Now seriously (no really, I mean it) isn't this the prettiest witch you have ever seen?

As I have probably mentioned previously, the way we sing the birthday song is as poorly as possible. My favorite part of this video is that Amira is singing with us!

This is not a political post!!!

Without getting into political issues, or preferences, I just have to say, that I am surprised at our ability as a nation, despite all of the hatred we still carry around, to elect a black president. It is a good kind of surprise. I didn't think that it would happen in my lifetime at least.

Now to halfly quote my sister "nobody, including ANYBODY could come down to become our president and do it without pleasing everyone"!

TWILIGHT the Movie

I have my tickets. Friday, the 21st, at 7:15 in Burlington. I plan on leaving Oak Harbor at around 5:30, grabbing a bite and catching the movie. The more the merrier.

Girls Night Out ROCK BAND

This is the week!

Thursday Night, My house, 7:30 (this is a change from the last post, more time to get things taken care of at homes).

Two systems, lots of rocking!

Snacks, and please, in an effort to control my own personal needs, no chocolate!

Bring a friend if you so desire!
